ON THIS DAY

Sunday, 14 September 2003

  • Despite taking a deserved first half lead Villa are well beaten in the second half to leave them with one win in five Premier League games under David O'Leary to sit 16th in the table.

  • Villa's first 5 games under David O'Leary suggest the hangover from the dreadful 2002-03 campaign under Graham Taylor has not fully cleared. 

  • Villa now have 3 losses, 1 win and a draw under David O'Leary but the apparent rejuvenation of Juan Pablo Ángel following his travails under Taylor and a more adventurous brand of football already being witnessed suggests better times may cautiously be ahead. 

  • Midfielder Mustapha Hadji, 32, makes his 47th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (30 Starts) before moving on to RCD Espanyol on a free transfer in January 2004 and leaving with a record of W15 D11 L21, 3 Goals, 2 Assists and 5 Bookings.

  • Juan Pablo Ángel contributes his 30th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 52nd start (69 Appearances) to make it W26 D15 L28, 23 Goals, 7 Assists and 6 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.73 starts so far in his Villa career.

  • Lee Hendrie contributes his 21st assist in a Villa shirt and his first since December 2002 on his 224th appearance (174 Starts) to make it W89 D58 L77, 24 Goals, 21 Assists, 40 Bookings 3 Red Cards at a goal involvement rate of one for every 5.09 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
